APPENDIX.


years ago. I readily recall and remember all of the per- sons mentioned. I was privileged to drive the oxen belonging to Captain J. T. Wheeler, which have been mentioned. Although a few years older than "H G. L.," I still take a deep interest in old Hollis, the place of my nativity, as I remember it seventy years ago.


Very Respectfully Yours, DANIEL HAYDEN.


Marlborough, Massachusetts.


[Born June 28, 1809; the only survivor of the nine children of the late Josiah and Mary (Patch) Hayden.]


From Miss L. E. Worcester.


I am very glad to know the Letters are to be published, and await the appearance of the little volume with pleasure.


Hollis, 8-12, 1894.


L. E. WORCESTER.


From Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown.


I read the "Recollections" that were forwarded to me with much interest, and feel sure that the Hollis people and their descendants would be very glad to have copies of them in permanent form. * The idea is well conceived and well executed as to style and thought, and will be useful in book form, not only at the present time, but for the filling out of history in later genera- tions.


Yours Very Truly, CHARLOTTE EMERSON BROWN. East Orange, N. J.

APPENDIX.


From Professor William F. Bradbury. Head Master Cambridge Latin School.


CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Aug. 31, 1894.


HON. H. G. LITTLE:


My Dear Sir :- I have heard a suggestion that you might be induced to put into book-form your reminis- cences of the good old town of Hollis (N. H.). I hope most earnestly that you will do so. It is too bad not to keep the memories of our fathers and mothers green. I shall be delighted to see the work done.


Truly Yours,


W. F. BRADBURY.


From Benj. Edmund Messer, Esq.


ANACOSTIA, D. C., August 30, 1894. HON. HENRY G. LITTLE:


Dear Sir :- I had the pleasure of reading several of your series of letters published in the Hollis paper a few years ago. They were a graphic recital of scenes and events which occurred in that beautiful inland town sev- enty years ago. Those letters were interesting in them- selves, deeply so to the few survivors, and would be to their children and their children's children, down to generations unborn.


I hope you may put them into book form and thus pre- serve that large amount of matter, historic and biograph- ical, which you have embodied in those letters. I was twelve years old at the point where you commence your letters. I knew all the old people in Hollis at that time.


225


APPENDIX.


That generation has long since passed away, and the fifth is now upon the stage. I know whereof you write in many of the scenes depicted. I had forgotten many until you unrolled the panorama and gave me a review of those happy days in the springtime of life when hope edges with gold our fond anticipations.


Wishing you abundant success in the enterprise should you enter upon it, I remain-as in childhood, so in old age,


Your Friend,


B. E. MESSER.
